MEANS FOR ATTACHING BlCYCLE-SADDLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 577,07 3, dated February 16, 1897.

A li ati fil d December 23,1895. Serial No. 572,981. (No model.)

accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in devices for securing bicycle-saddles to the saddle-support.

With this object in view my invention consists of certain features of construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a view in perspective showing the invention as applied to a so-called T-post. Fig. 2 is a perspective comprising the several parts of the holder. Fig. 3 isa cross-section of the holder parts and a longitudinal section of a fragment of the holder.

A denotes the post, and B the link that embraces the post, said link having at its .top side a threaded stem 0, having provided therein a slot D, extending down into the body of the link, as shown.

A block, as E, having a neck portion to correspond with the neck 0 of the link, is provided to pass down into the slot D, the lower edge to rest on the top side of the saddle frame or spring F.

About the neck portion 0 of the link B is provided a screw-thread, on which is turned the securing-nut G. Between the post A and the frame F is placed a saddle-piece H, flat on its top side to conform to the frame F, and Y G turned down onto the shoulders of the block E to drive it down on the frame F, by which movement of parts the link will be drawn up against the under side of the post, thus clamping the post between the bottom of the link and the saddle-piece H.

Having thus fully described the nature and the object of my invention, what I claim is The combination, in a bicycle-saddle support, of a link having a threaded nek portion and a slot extending entirely through the neck in a direction of its length and terminating in the body of the link, the block, E, provided with a neck portion, the block being fitted in that partof the slot that terminates in the body of the link, and the neck of the block located in the slot of the screw-threaded neck, a saddle-piece, H, located between the .sides of the link and below the block, and a nut adapted to engage the screw-threaded neck, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 17th day of December, A. D. A
